I want to have motion running befor I add cameras. then fire a SIGHUP to
have motion re-read the configuration. I think I have used this in the
past (4.1) but am not sure. currently it goes into a loop with an error
using /dev/null Any ideas?

Examine motion.log for information.

Hello,
I don't know the reasons why you want to run motion without a camera,
but you can try simulating a camera with v4l2loopback.

Some general unix knowledge: /dev/null is only a sink for data, not a
source thus you can't read from it.
The thing that does what you are thinking of is /dev/zero
I haven't tested if it is possible to let motion run on /dev/zero. (if it
isn't, I apologise for this useless email)
